Default Removing PSU support rail?

There's a picture in my Rig Showcase, but it's a big metal bar going the length of my case. I want to know if it's advisable to drill the rivets out, because it blocks a lot of my case, and makes working around it pretty difficult.

Anyone have thoughts on it?

I'd say go for it. None of my cases have one, and as long as the PSU is screwed into the back I dont see much harm.

Remove it, I've removed them before and it works fine and is lots better without it.

If you have some sort of a problem you can always put it back in with nuts and bolts but I doubt you'll have any issues with it.

It's an attempt to create case stability/rigidity!

Maybe, I doubt it's doing much in the way of support...I'm sure it will be fine without the rail there...And yes, I can always throw some nuts and bolts back on to fix it if it droops unnecessarily...Tomorrow it'll be done, I'm headin to bed..
